The Man In The Raincoat

Mmmmm

Late in the evening out in the square

A man in a raincoat standin' there

We met by the lamp where the newsboy cries

He stole my heart with his laughin' eyes

We smiled as we climbed on the old streetcar

I blushed when he asked “Are you travelin' far ”

The next time we met the sun shone all day

We walked and we talked till the evening was gray

(humming )

He took me out dancing dancing 'til dawn

No happier couple had ever been born

I felt like a queen and he was my king

He borrowed some money to buy me a ring

But I'm still alone The cards are all down

He's taken my money and skipped out of town

And now when I pass the place where we met

I'm wondering if I could forgive and forget

Though bitter is my heart and foolishly proud

I still keep on looking when out in a crowd

For a man in a raincoat standin' there

With laughin' eyes and dark brown hair

(humming)
